Will headers fit
I'm trying to find a set of headers that will fit in the engine compartment of my 65 Studebaker commander. It currently has a 283 and will soon be upgraded to a 383. There are rams horns exhaust currently that dump straight down. On the drivers side there is a lot of 'stuff' that the headers will have to clear. I need some advise so I don't buy 4 different sets of header before I find one that fits.
I probably need dual exhaust with the 383, right?
I could use block huggers with the center dump but the pipe might have to loop down too far under the steering arm. If I use headers that dump by the rear exhaust port, I think it would clear the steering arm and the trans shift link. Here's a pic, what do you guys think?
